Abstract
Chromosome studies were done on 1193 consective pediatric necropsies in Edinburgh [Scotland] and on 331 in Adelaide [Australia]. In the Edinburgh series 51 major chromosome abnormalities were detected in 780 (6.5%) necropsies where chromosome studies were successful and in Adelaide 16 in 295 (5.4%) were found. Chromosome studies should become an integral part of pediatric necropsy except for deaths due to primary CNS lesions and trauma.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
